VIOLENCE PLAGUES CITY
Johnson’s Act Was
Backed By NC ‘Law’
BY STAFF WRITER
SINGLE COPY 20c Although a member ot the State Attorney General's
• i office in Raleigh has labeled the dress and hair styles of
highway patrolmen in the Tarheel State, alright, unless
it was “unreasonably distracting or bizarre/' the
black highway trooper hired by North Carolina 7 years
ago, Charles H. Johnson of Winston-Salem, has l^n
suspended for his refusal to shave off a 3-week-old
mustache. Most, if not all black males in the United
States are known to have worn a mustache at one time
or another in their lives.

Patrol Commander E. W.
Jones and Troy A. Doby, state
transportation secretary, said
Tuesoay patrol policy requir
ing patrolmen to be clean
shaven is legal and will not be
changed.
“I could change it, but I
won’t.'' Doby said. The
Highway Patrol is under his
authority.
Johnson wrote a letter
requesting permission to grow
a mustache before he was
suspended, but his command
ing officer denied the rei^uest
Jones, who said that in 39
years in the patrol, he has
never seen a patrolman with a
mustache, said he and other
patrol officials talked with the
transportation department and
the state attorney general's
office before suspending John
son.
Jones said the patrol had the
authority to enforce the
clean-shaven requirement.
But the recent guidelines
from the attorney general's
office say that only “unreason
ably distracting or bizarre"
men are state employes, but
because they are uniformed
law raforcement officers, they
are exempt from the ruling.
